I've been working with Compojure and Ring lately to build an app server, and I've gotten my brain stuck trying to figure out wrap- reload. It seems like I have to turn my routes into vars to get wrap- reload to work, but I don't understand why, and I suppose I don't really understand the "when" or "where" of the situation either.
For example, if I have a bunch of resource namespaces with (defroutes ...) calls in them, and a main "core" namespace that aggregates them all, wrap-reload will work in a scenario like this: (defroutes combined #'myapp.resource.users #'myapp.resource.products #'myapp.resource.other (route/resources "/") (route/not-found "Page not found")) In the above, changing code in any of the resource namespaces auto- reloads them. But if I put two defroutes in the same namespace and try to "var" one of them, wrap-reload fails: (defroutes defaults (route/resources "/") (route/not-found "Page not found")) (defroutes all-routes myapp.resource.users myapp.resource.products myapp.resource.other) (defroutes combined #'all-routes defaults) If I pass combined to (handler/site ...) in Compojure, wrap-reload doesn't work. And, if I take the original, and remove the vars, then try to call handler/site and var that route, it doesn't work either: (defroutes combined myapp.resource.users myapp.resource.products myapp.resource.other (route/resources "/") (route/not-found "Page not found")) (def app (handler/site #'combined)) What am I not understanding here? I feel like this is the area I struggle with most, and I'm not getting it at all. P.S. Please don't point me at lein-ring and have me just run that. I'm trying to finally understand this, and I also need to be able to access the REPL in the same classloader as the running server for other reasons. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
